DOVER — Ten men have been arrested on charges they operated a cocaine ring in Dover, according to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.

Complaints against the group, signed by a detective for the prosecutor’s office and made public today, charge that the group sold cocaine between April and August of 2010.

Edwin Soto, 30, of Mine Hill, an alleged leader of the group, was charged with possession of drugs, possession with intent to distribute, distribution and conspiracy, according to the prosecutor's office.

Superior Court Judge Philip Maenza, sitting in Morristown, set Soto’s bail at $400,000, with no 10-percent option, according to Capt. Jeffrey Paul, a spokesman for Morris Prosecutor Robert Bianchi.

Paul said the other defendants, and their bails set by Maenza, include:

Also charged were James Harris, 28, of Dover, released without bail, and Jose M. Torres, 39, no address available, who is being held by the New York Department of Corrections, Paul said.

Bianchi said the investigation focused on a “significant cocaine distribution network” and involved several municipal police departments, along with the county’s park police, the sheriff’s office and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

“By prioritizing higher-level targets and working with numerous law enforcement agencies in the county as well as the DEA, we are able to build better investigations and prosecutions that will have a significant impact on our community,” Bianchi said.
